Chapter 384: Chapter 385: Past Tense (1)
In fact, the mont she got off the car, Lu Weixi was already aware that her secret might be revealed. Regardless of whether it was Liu Yiyi or Xiang Yirou, or anyone else for that matter, once they found out that the designer of Lulu Design Institute, Liu Weixi, was also the wife of Qin Zhiyou, one could expect a surge of people swarming Lulu the following day.
But what good would worrying do—it was the truth after all. If worse cos to worst, she could always switch design firms or even go undercover for a while, perhaps continue her studies and pursue a doctoral degree. She was confident that in a few years, people will no longer be constantly monitoring her.
Once she accepted this, she beca extraordinarily calm, her face betraying no emotion as she passed by Bai Changyou and his family. She then turned her gaze to Fang Rushuang and Fang Zheng standing behind her.
Back then, she had, indeed, stolen Fang Rushuang’s fiance. But, who could bla her when Fang Zheng did all he could to help Bai Changyou embezzle assets, nearly costing her mother’s life?
Regardless of any guilt she may have felt towards Fang Rushuang, the sight of the obsequiously hypocritical Fang Zheng next to Bai Changyou instantly dissolved any feelings of remorse she might have had.
As for Xiang Yirou, she had ignored her completely.
“Long ti no see.” Fang Rushuang spoke with a serene expression, devoid of any indignation. Beside her, Fang Zheng greeted Qin Zhiyou warmly, “Zhiyou, long ti no see. I’ve heard from Rushuang that you have been very kind to her since she returned. We are both very grateful.”
So much was conveyed in a single sentence—it affird that his daughter had been in contact with Qin Zhiyou since her return. Indeed, Lu Weixi maintained a composed deanor that anyone could see, not even blinking an eye throughout the exchange. However, her other hand that wasn’t clasped by Qin Zhiyou tightened slowly.
Qin Zhiyou hurried to clarify, “Miss Fang took over the Bai Family’s project and provided very generous terms. It would be ridiculous to refuse such a lucrative offer.”
This single statent explained his relationship with Fang Rushuang, as well as her involvent with the Bai Family.
Before Lu Weixi could express anything, the ever-intrusive Qin Zhii chid in, “Oh, isn’t this Miss Xiang Yirou? I am a huge fan of yours. I’ve heard that you and my brother are quite close, but he never introduced us.”
Thoughtfully fearing that Fang Rushuang, after being away for five years, might not be familiar with Xiang Yirou and Liu Yiyi, she rushed to make introductions, “Elder Sister Rushuang, Xiang Yirou is one of China’s most popular young actresses, while Miss Liu Yiyi who greeted us today is a renowned television presenter. They both are good friends of my older brother, an opportunity I’ve never had to get to know them. What a fortunate coincidence today.”
While speaking, she intentionally did not ntion Lu Weixi, rendering a deliberate oversight. If speaking in terms of entitlent, Fang Rushuang actually had more legitimacy than Lu Weixi. She used to be Qin Zhiyou’s favorite, and had Qin Zhiyou not lost his mind and slept with Lu Weixi, perhaps Fang Rushuang might not have backed off so quickly.
So what if Lu Weixi ended up with Qin Zhiyou? There were countless won like Xiang Yirou and Liu Yiyi out there. Lu Weixi was rely holding onto the title of Mrs. Qin. Qin Zhiyou was rely preserving her face in public. Who knows how much she was crying behind closed doors?
Fang Rushuang, being wise and discerning, naturally knew she was being used as a pawn by Qin Zhii. She had occasionally heard about Qin Zhiyou’s frivolous affairs abroad, so she was not surprised in the slightest, only giving Xiang Yirou and Liu Yiyi a brief nod and saying, “Miss Xiang, Miss Liu,” before discontinuing the conversation..
